Gillespie County has experienced solid economic growth and development; it is little wonder many communities look to Fredericksburg and Gillespie County as role models for success.
Agri-tourism is quickly becoming a large part of the Texas Tourism industry and offers abundant opportunity for the entrepreneur. Gillespie County produces much of the produce grown in Texas, including 40% of all the state’s peaches, and the Texas wine industry has gained a steady and well-deserved following that grows bigger each year. A bustling tourist area also requires many ancillary businesses and support services – fertile ground, if you will, for imagination. And Gillespie County represents a prime opportunity for residential development.
